He has some really great songs. Not everything that’s popular is bad.
Comment on The radical woke subliminal message in Bad Bunny's halftime performance

“You don’t like Bad Bunny because you are racist, I don’t like Bad Bunny because it’s shitty commercial music, we are not the same.”

I dig the dude and his message, but NONE of that music resonated with me, and I am a hard-core, lifelong musician with a degree in music history. Other than it having a steady beat, it barely registered as music to me at all.
But I also recognize that not everything in America has to be approved by me. There were two targets for this show - Hispanics/Latinx, and MAGAs. I’m neither, so I’m just an observer, and I highly approve of any event where MAGA gets poked in the eye.

Watch his Tiny Desk Concert on NPR, it’s amazing. Arena shows are just arena shows, the music gets a little lost in all the rest of what’s going on.

Arena shows used to be all about lights, lasers, and volume. Now it’s all about props and dancers. It’s like Broadway on the road. They’re trying to give people enough entertainment value to slightly rationalize the obscene cost of concert tickets these days.
Of course, lights and lasers used to work better when the atmosphere was filled with weed smoke. Now everybody does gummies before the show.

I’m not Hispanic or MAGA and I enjoyed it. I just enjoy reggaetón and think bad bunny is a great contributor to that genre.

That’s cool. I enjoyed Prince’s and Michael’s halftimes. That’s why they cycle through the genres.

Autotune galore?

It’s not for me either. I did hear that he endorsed the left wing(socialist iirc) party in the last Puerto Rico election, and obviously has been very vocally anti-ICE, so I’ll take it.

The guy seems alright though even if his music is not my jam.

Honestly I’m starting to like him just because they hate him so much.

Have you listened to DTmF? Bad bunny is excellent, no opposition required at all.

Honestly I don’t think he’s bad, I’m just not into pop in general. Love Afrocuban and Latin jazz on the other hand.
